Another Swainson's Hawk Bushwhack

1st 2:  pair of Swainson's Hawks

We did a long hike this morning, bushwhacking out of the left branch arroyo over toward 4210 hill where the pair of Swainson's Hawks were perched on separate yuccas.  I took way too may photos of them, as well as far too many of a Cactus Wren who was building its nest in a yucca.

After our trek we took a long ride listening to Matt and Myron on their Sunday Morning show; those two are always good for quite a few laughs, exactly what I need in this dark period I'm going through grieving for Frio.

After lunch we walked Willow down our drive, along our street and up the arroyo beside our house; then we stood out on the porch while Willow lay in the shade keeping a lookout over our road.
